Out for Sport taster week

Out For Sport Week: Monday 13th to Sun 19th August

Out For Sport and London’s LGBT sports clubs invite you to try a new sport!

18 of London’s LGBT sports clubs have got together to organise a week of ‘Sports Taster Sessions’ for London’s LGBT community to try out new sports. We want to showcase London’s vibrant and inclusive LGBT sports community, and show that we have something to offer everyone, regardless of age or ability.

For information about each sport taster session, please go to:
